General Motors reported a 7% bump in fleet/commercial sales in 2014. Boasting a total of 703,582 units moved for the year, GM was the number one supplier of commercial fleet vehicles in the United States last year.
“Each facet of our fleet and commercial business was up in 2014,” said Ed Peper, U.S. vice president, GM Fleet & Commercial, in a statement. “Our sales performance was strong in every segment of the market – pickups, full size vans, cars and crossovers.”

Breaking the gains down further, GM moved 2.4% more vehicles to rental fleets, 24% more to commercial fleets and 0.3% more to government fleets. In December alone, fleet sales were up 38% vs. the prior year.
GM says the gains were spread across all four of its U.S. brands–Chevrolet, Cadillac, Buick and GMC. The Chevrolet Cruze, which saw a fleet sales increase of 51% vs. last year, was also named 2014 Fleet Car of the Year by Automotive Fleet and Business Fleet magazines.
“We are committed to providing our commercial customers with vehicles that are not only great on the road, but great for their bottom line,” Peper said.
